Position Description:

The Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) Manager provides leadership, coordination, and oversight of infection prevention and control requirements for construction activities, with particular focus on projects within active healthcare and other infection-sensitive environments. The IPAC Manger works collaboratively with project and field leadership, HSE, quality, trade partners, design teams, commissioning teams, and the client’s Infection Prevention and Control representatives to identify infection‑control risks and establish appropriate controls throughout planning, construction, commissioning, turnover, and closeout.

The role is responsible for coordinating Infection Control Risk Assessments (ICRAs), developing and monitoring project‑specific infection‑control plans, supporting construction sequencing and phasing, and verifying that required environmental controls are established and maintained. The IPAC Manager provides technical guidance to project teams and trade partners and promotes consistent implementation of infection prevention and control requirements across the project. This position requires CSA Z317.13.22 training.

Essential Duties & Key Responsibilities:

• Provide project leadership and subject matter expertise related to infection prevention and control during construction.
• Establish and maintain the project‑specific Infection Prevention and Control program in alignment with contractual requirements, applicable standards, client requirements, and project procedures.
• Lead Infection Control Risk Assessments (ICRAs), identify construction‑related infection risks, and establish appropriate mitigation and monitoring measures.
• Serve as a primary project resource for construction‑related IPAC requirements.
• Work closely with the client’s IPAC representatives to coordinate requirements, reviews, inspections, approvals, and issue resolution.
• Integrate infection‑control requirements into construction planning and day‑to‑day project execution.
• Promote awareness and accountability for infection prevention and control among project personnel and trade partners.
• Monitor changing project conditions and ensure infection‑control measures remain appropriate for the work being performed.
• Evaluate construction activities based on the nature of the work, location, adjacent occupancies, patient populations, and potential infection‑control risks.
• Reassess infection‑control risks when project scope, sequencing, site conditions, or adjacent operations change.
• Maintain ICRA documentation and ensure required controls are incorporated into work planning.
• Reassess infection‑control risks when project scope, sequencing, site conditions, or adjacent operations change.
• Participate in preconstruction and pre‑activity planning for work with elevated infection‑control risk.
• Develop, maintain, and implement project‑specific Infection Prevention and Control plans and procedures.
• Translate client, contractual, and regulatory requirements into practical construction controls.
• Establish requirements for barriers, pressure relationships, access, housekeeping, dust control, debris removal, material movement, temporary conditions, and other infection‑control measures.
• Coordinate IPAC requirements with project logistics, phasing, scheduling, and shutdown planning.
• Verify appropriate installation and maintenance of temporary construction barriers and containment systems.
• Coordinate requirements for negative pressure and other pressure relationships where required.
• Coordinate use and maintenance of HEPA filtration and other temporary air‑management equipment.
• Establish controls for construction dust, debris, moisture, and contaminants.
• Coordinate appropriate construction access routes and movement of workers, materials, equipment, and waste.
• Coordinate construction activities with hospital or healthcare operations where work occurs within or adjacent to occupied areas.
• Understand the potential impact of construction activities on patients, staff, visitors, and clinical operations.
• Participate in coordination meetings involving
